What people say
Honey Butter Fried Chicken is a must-visit for anyone in Chicago looking for the ultimate fried chicken experience. The locally-sourced, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, and cage-free chicken is brined to perfection in a mixture of salt, sugar, spices, and citrus before being expertly double battered in buttermilk and seasoned flour. The result is crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor. And let's not forget the dollop of honey butter that takes this fried chicken to the next level.
But what sets Honey Butter Fried Chicken apart from other restaurants is their commitment to their employees. They believe in giving all of their staff a living wage and offer paid sick days, vacation days, paternal and maternal leave. They've even introduced gainsharing so that when the business exceeds expectations quarterly, all employees benefit.
This friendly neighborhood joint truly embodies hospitality by including it in the price of their food - no need to tip! So come on down to Honey Butter Fried Chicken for some delicious food and a feel-good dining experience.
